Rice Pudding is popular all around the world. Made with rice and milk. Simple, flavorful, cooked on the stove or baked in the oven. Caramel on the top like the Turkish version or caramel into the bottom (my favorite version, especially when you turn over the mold and see the caramel sliding down the sides). I know I’m a “gourmande”.
This version is very simple to make, and tasty, a family favorite!
See you at Fiesta Friday #104 co-hosted this week by Mila @Milk and Bun and Hilda @Along the Grapevine.

I haven’t made rice pudding in years – it never seemed very popular even though I loved it. (What don’t I like…) But I love that you made it in a mold and served it with caramel. Lovely!!!
Thank you very much, Mimi. Hope you give this a try and let me know what you think served with the caramel! 🙂
I make rice pudding like the first half of yours. Then serve chilled with slivered almonds and cashews. But I have never caramelised it Linda. Completely new to me. Have to try this delicious version of yours.
Hugs and regards
Ana
Thanks a lot Ana. I’m glad you like this version. In my family we always prepare the rice pudding or the semolina pudding with caramel and inside mold. I love your recipe with almonds and cashews on the top. Have a nice weekend! 🙂 xx
Rice pudding is such a wonderful dessert, and adding caramel to it is just brilliant. 🙂
Thank you so much for your nice comment, Ronit! 🙂
Rice pudding was my mom’s favorite. She would eat it for lunch or dinner sprinkled with sugar. I love the way you added caramel and served it in a mold.
Thank you so much Gerlinde. This is one of the simplest dessert and always delicious! 🙂

I love rice pudding. It always brings me back to the warm winter desserts of my childhood, sitting in the kitchen with my momma (she always made it super creamy with cinnamon and raisins). Your version looks gorgeous. I love the concept of the mould and the gorgeous river of caramel poured over the top! Super yummy.
Thank you so much Laura for your kind words, I really appreciate. I’m so glad you like this version and also I brought you back good souvenirs. Have a nice weekend! 🙂
